Energetic efforts were being made to throw doubts on the guilt of Dr. Smethurst, the conyicted poisoner, and to obtain a commutation of the death sentence against him, Much interest had been evinced at Liverpool on a trotting race which took place near that place, in which several celebrated American horses, including Jack Rossitre, Moun- tain Boy and Dreadnought, were ongaged. Tho race was ‘won easily by an English horse named Dan, in two three mile heats, much to the surprise and joy of the assem- bled crowd, it being considered certain that the American horses would win. A large number of Americans were ‘on the course. The American horses obtained second, third and fourth places in a field of seven horses, Mr. Ten Broeck’s American two year old colt Umpire has won two more races at Stockton, and is the prominent favorite for next year’s Derby. i The London Gazette gives the names of the Commis sioners appointed to investigate the national defences.

He pledged bis best efforts for the welfare ‘of Italy. The mission of Prince Poniatowski to Italy had attracted attention. It was supposed that Napoleon sent him to carry on the intrigues set on foot by M. Reigset. The London Zimes strongly urges the Tuscans to be prepared to resist Austrian aggression, even if they haye to fight, and points to Garibaldi as @ noble champion for them, of the Washington school. The Council of Ministers at Turin, at which the King of Sardinia presided, had decided that before accepting even provisionally the Provinces which desire to be annexed to Piedmont, it was proper to cousult the allied Powers, particularly France.

Consols closed on Friday, the 26th, at 9534 a 955; for money and account. ‘The bullion in the Bank had decreased £132,000. Money was slightly easier in rates, with an abundant supply. ‘The London Daily News (City Article) of the evening of the 26th says:—“The funds to-day were slightly flatter. Owing to the dullness of business, coupled with a few sales on account of persons desirous of exchanging to the new Indian loan, the improvement of 3g in consols, which took place on the 25th, has been lost. the other de- partments of the Stock Exchange stagnation prevails, The supply of money continues in excess of the demand. Best bills, having sixty days to run, were taken to-day at 34. The foreign exchanges were generally steady.” ‘The London Times (City Article), under date of the eve- ning of the 26th, says:—The funds opened with great steadiness this morning, but subsequently experienced a reaction of 3, in sympathy, probably, with a fall of prices in Paris. There were again no bullion operations atthe Bank to-day. The large arrivals of silver of late have supplied the demand for exchanges, and precluded the necessity of purchasing on the Continent. drain of gold to France and Germany is, therefore, proportion- ately diminished, and notwithstanding the falling off in shipments from the United States, and the non-arrival of overdue vessels from Australia, no withdrawals from the Bank have been required.

OUR SPECIAL SYRACUSE CORRESPONDENT. Syracuse, Sept. 8, 1859, Thurlow Weed not very Successful—Was Defeated in the Case of Diven—How Conventions are Managed—Apparent Harmony Outside not to be Regarded as an Index of What is Within—The Republicans Puzeled About the American Rump—A Liberal Ofer for a Nomination—Seward’s Picture Exhibited and Removed, ‘The republican ticket was completed at a yery late hour Inst night. On the whole, Thurlow Weed has not been yery success- ful in this Convention. His slate was broken, and he was compelled to submit to some arrangements he did not like, It is well known that Diven wag on the slate for Judge of Appeals, but the recalcitrant New Yorkers de- feated him. They insisted on haying a lawyer from their own city on the ticket, and though the nomination was kept back in order to keep them in suspense, and prevent their kicking against Weed’s candidates for the other no- minations, they gained their point by making bargains on their own hook, independent of Weed, who would give nothing to tho city of New York if he could help it. It is curious to observe how these nominations are cut and carved and parcelled out. They are anything but the choice of the people, and rarely have their approbation, A member of @ Convention is not intended to think and de- berate, but to give his vote as he is ordered. Sometimes the “ slate’ arrangements are broken through in this way:—A man in Washington county wants an office, buta man in an adjoining county wants some other office; now, it is well understood that men from two adjoining countics cannot be both successful. All sorts of strategems are re- sorted to, and bargains proposed, to induce each other to withdraw their names. The man who yields is either to et something good next time, or he is to get something for a friend now in some other county. In the barrooms pokes biased Led emgene is done. There the members to ¢: er groups, whispering in the ear, or speaking 60 low that no one but them- selves can hear. The ral arrangements are made by the managers, who are sometimes not even members of the Convention, and are hardly ever seen at the meetings. For instance, at the present Convention ‘Weed did not make his appearance at all, but pulled the wires from behind the scenes. He sent for such menas he wanted, and arranged matters with them in caucus. But the best devised mes of mice and men do not always prosper. There war great Lah harmony in the Convention, but there was hard fighting in private, and matters did not run as smooth as they seemed, but everything was made fair to the public eye. The republicans were sorely puzzled as to the point of taking the Americans into their boat. If they conciliated them they might gain them over; if they tried to do so, and failed, they would suier from the hostility of adopted citi- zens. ’ They at last resolved to cut clear of the Americans. In the case of Judge Davies, it was declared in his behalf that he was a republican, pure and simple, and did not be- long, at least at present, to the Order of the Dark Lan- tern. Besides, the office was Doyo! considered not to be a political one. The ticket may therefore be put down as thoroughly straight. One aspiring gentleman from your city offered a thou- sand dollars to get the nomination for Attorney General. I haye this on the best authority. ‘Seward’s picture, which was in the hall on the first day and on the morning of the second, was remoyed for gome cauge or other in the afternoon. —$______— City Politics. ‘The Mozart Hall General Committee, for the election of delegates to the Syracuse Convention held a meeting yes- terday evening, at Mozart Hall, the Hon.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT THE INTERNATIONAL HOTEL.— The guests of the International Hotel on Broadway, were thrown into a great state of excitement yesterday after- noon in consequence of the suicide of Mr. Alfred Free- man, the proprietor of the establishment. It appears that he had been ill for about a week with aslow fever and nervous attack, which so debilitated him that he was required to keep his bed. His spirits were quite low, and he was heard to say that he did not believe he would re- cover. Yesterday afternoon about three o’clock he re- quested Mrs. Gilson, his sister-in-law, who was waiting upon him at the bedside, to leave the room for a few mo- ments. Mra. G. complied with the request, and during her absence Mr. Freeman got out of bed, locked the door, and taking a razor out of his bureau drawer, walked up to the mirror and cut his throat from ear to car. He then managed to make his way back to bed, and throw- ing himself down, died in a few moments. The situation of deceased was not discovered until life ‘was quite extinct. Mrs. Gilson, finding the door locked on ber return, became alarmed, and getting upon a chair, looked {nto the room through the fanlight over the door, when she saw her relative lying upon tho ved covered with blood from head to foot. The alarm was raised and the door was burst open; but deceased was then inanimate. The cause which led to the commis- sion of the rash act can be attributed to nothing other than sickness, for as regards business and domestic mat- ters Mr. Freeman had no difficulty whatever. He was a native of England, and was about forty years of age. A wife and three children are left to lamont the sad occur- rence. An inquest will be held upon the body to-day. SiveuiaR Cause ror Svicips.—Anna Gosbercer, a na- tive of Ireland, aged thirty-six years, committed suicide at her residence No, 76 Cannon strect, in consequence of a rheumatic affection of the foot, which had troubled her for some time past. Deceased ended her existence by swallowing about three ounces of laudanum. As she was administering the poison to herself, in the presence of her husband, she made use ‘of some incoherent remarks about her father and mother dying in Cannon street, and her determination to die in that street also. Immediate efforts were made to save the life of the unfortunate wo- man, but in vain. She continued to sink gradually until yesterday, when she died. An inquest was held upon the body be Coroner Jackman, when the jury rendered a verdict of suicide, No cause save the one above men a can be assigned for the commission of the rash act. Fata Casvanty in CANAL Streetr.—Andrew Schachtel, a lad about soventeen yeurs of age, died at the New York Hospital yesterday from the effects of injuries accidentally received while at work in the machine shop of Stophen Kuntz, No. 20 Canal strect. Deceased, it appeared, was endeavoring to unfasted a belt running from the shaft to a cutting machine, when he was caught by the arm and instantly dragged to the ceiling. The poor lad’s arm was wrenched from the socket, while his body presented one mass of bruises. He lingered but a short while after the accident, and died in great agony. Coroner Gamble bold an inquest upon the body. Verdict, “Accidental death.” Deceased was a native of Pennsylvania. NEWS FROM THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA, Interesting From Liberia and Cape Palmas.

Iam a great admirer of your paper, and take great pleasure in gending you this.” Captain Jones bas kindly furnished us with copies of the following papers published in Liberia:—The Christian reps % eee Herald, July 20, and the july 27, ‘We'make the following extracts -— The Christian A in announces:—Monday syesing, June 18, pursuant to notice, the town meeting of the citi- zens was held in the courtroom. Rey. E. W. Stokes, was called to the chair; W. A. Johnson, Secretary. On’ mo- tion of B. V. R. James, resolved that the President of the Board of Health state the object of the meeting. It was stated in substance as follows:—That the amount furnish- ed by the government for the carrying outof the sanitory re for suppression of the small pox in this city ‘was exhausted, or nearly 60, and that the President in Cabinet Counell, for certain reasons sct forth in his com- munication ¢ Board of th, declines taking the responsibility of furnishing any further means for the pur- face above stated, and urgently recommends some action e taken by the ohizens to supply the Board of alts wi ynecessary funds for carrying out the t 0 their organization. 4 ‘Small pox was very prevalent at Monrovia. ‘We are gratified in being able to announce tho arrival, on ithe 20th ult., of the beautiful little guarda costa Quail, forty-four days from ba crnoet England. The Quail isa gift to Liberia by her Britannic "8 government— another substantial proof of British magnanimity, and of the kindly feclings entertained towards Liberia’ by her Majesty’s government. But aside from this, who amon; us can fail to discover, or would hesitate to acknow! the genuinencss of British thropy, especially in re- spect to our own Liberia? ce the establishment of Li- beria’s independence England has watched her progress with no little interest, and on no occasion has she been backward in time of need in extending to her material aid. And now, while we write, our thoughts irresistibly recur to by gone days; for well do.we remember the doubts and fears which oppressed all ranks of our fellow citizens twelve years , when, driven by the force of circumstances, which left no other alternative, the question of’ dissolving our political relations with “the American Colonization Society, and of tal into our own hands the entire inaction g of government, was finally settled and determined. Many of our ing citizens thought that, in view of several peculiar considerations, we might at-least rely on the government of the United States for that sympathy and national comity so essential to the encouragement of any new State. Hence, first of all, as of course, respect- ful application was made to the government of the United States for a ‘tion of the independence of the “new republic’ <-which, ‘application, to our disappointment and still greatér mortification, was most politely 4, and from that government, even to the present, we have owryms only the cold shoulder. Notso, however, with Great Britain. Here, with a magnanimity’ worthy of a.great Christian nation, our appeal ‘was ihesiaticgly and favorably responded to, and our representative re- ceived and treated with becoming courtesy—to whom ‘was remarked on the occasion, as we haye learned, by ‘that distinguished statesman the Right Honorable Viscount Palmerston, then her Majesty’s principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, “Your people have assumed a high res) ibility; I wish you success; if rightly directed your influence cannot fail to produce a salutary effect ‘upon the destiny of your race; and so long as you con- tinue worthy of the poslton'yon have assumed, you may eeoreene oe oven teey Kind love of bor Manfoxty' il is a schooner of about one hundred and thirty tons, complete in all her appointments. Her armament consists, we understand, of one long piyot gun amidships, and four brass three pounder swivels on the raile—a ves- sel in all respects just suited to the purposes of the go- vernment, And for this munificence, as well as for all former acts of kindness towards Liberia on the part of her Majesty’s government—which posterity will not fail to remember—we are happy in being able to accord her our grateful acknowledgements. His Excellency President Benson left here in the Quad on the morning of the 14th inst. on a visit to the leewaril counties. The President was desirous of making these visits months ago, but there was no convenience at hand toenable him todo so, There are many matters among the native chieftains which will require adjustment, and which should be attended to with the least delay. It the weather will permit, we doubt not but they will receive his Excellency’s attention. There are also many other ‘things to attend to, apart from differences among the na- tive chieftains, which will require much time in looking into. His Excellency expects to. be absent from the capi- tal about one month. ‘The same paper exhorts the Methodists thus:—Keep up the old fashioned Methodist practice of regular pastoral visitations, ye brethren of Liberia. It will pay well. Your own gouls will be fed and fattened. It will make you strong in the pulpit, for God’s poor will pray for you, and the Holy Spirit willbe youchsafed to youin large measure. ‘And again:—Report goes that the English cruisers aro catching up vessels engaged in the slave trade along the coast. Why the dignity and independence of the Ameri- can nation cannot impel her to a thorough abandonment of the traffic, without the coercive influence of England, is what we are unable to assign a reason for. It is awful to think that God is just. ‘The Rebecca, a five hundred ton clipper ship, Captain Carter, 61 days from New Orleans, arrived on the morn- ing of the 2d inst., with forty-two emigrants. One had died on the passage. She is bound from this port to the river Congo.

A. Horrible and Mysterious Murder on Staten Island. About ten o’clock on the evening of Sunday, the 2ist ult., a8 @ young man, named Fraud Duchamp, was on hig way home from the house of the Rev. Mr. Lewis, of St. Mary’s church, at Clifton, Staten Island, he ‘was attacked by a gang of villains, and beaten and kicked until life was nearly extinct. A few minutes after the as- sault he was picked up, when it was ascertained that the left side of his skull had been frightfully shattered by a slung shot or bludgeon, and his body bruised from head to foot, the effects of their merciless kicks. Notwith- standing his terrible injuries, tho unfortunate young man \ingered on in a state of half consciousness, until death terminated bis sufferings on Wednesday afternoon last, at two o’clock. The deceased was a Frenchman or Canadian by birth, ‘was employed on the government works at Fort Tomp- kins, and was the partial support of an aged mother. He bore an excellent character, and was thought to have no enemles. He was attended by Dr. Boardman, of Staple- ton, and Dr. Mott, of New York. During the examination made by these age twelve distinct pieces of bone were removed from his skull. On the fatal evening he was on a committee which pre- sented the Rev. Mr. Lewis with a gold watch and chain. On leaving the house he parted with his friends, three in number, they gong in the direction of Stapleton, he to- wards Fort Tompkins. Five or ten minutes after the parting the three friends heard a cry of murder in their rear, and going back, found the body of Mr. Duchamp as we have described above. No clue has as yet been found to the perpetrators of this most fiendish deed, but it is confidently expected that some developements will be made at the inquest, which has been adjourned to Saturday afternoon, the 10th inst. , at half-past six o’clock. In the meantime it is the inten- tion of Coroner Vanderbilt to leave no stone unturned in by endeavors to ferret out the murderers and bring them to justice. As may be expected, this horrible and mysterious affair has caused a most painful se1 among all classes of the community in the neighborhood where it transpired. City Intelligence. FUNERAL OF MR.

Norwicu, Conn, , Sept. 7, 1859. ‘The quiet town of Norwich has for the last week beon laboring under an excitement bordering on frenzy, in antici- pation of the celebration which was commenced this morn ing, of the two hundredth anniversary of the: settlement- of the town, Hotels and boarding houses are filled to overflowing. It is difficult to obtain a bed, and nO amoun . of money can procure @ horse and carriage, even for a short time. ‘The dwellings of private citizens have been, al- most without exception, hospitably thrown open to the vigi- tere. Every house in town is draped with flags, and bus!- nees is totally suspended. ‘Tasteful arches, with appro- priate inscriptions, span the streets at short intervals, 1 have been credibly informed that there are at preeent in the town from 18,000 to 26,000 visivers from Now Yori and the Western and Eastern States. Among the notables here are Millard Fillmore, Atbert HL. Tracy” of Buffalo, Erastus Corning, Chancellor Wal- worth, Dan. C. Gillman (Librarian of Yale College), Bishop Lee of Delaware, Dr. Bolles of Cleveland, Mrs. Sigour- ney, &e., &e. ‘The procession formed at eight o'clock this morning. 3 comprised a large number of military, several fre compa- nies,and the respective trades, which, particularly tho machinists, were well represented. The line, at least a mile long, at last reached a place called Williams) Park, a large track of sward, on which were erected the gigantic New York tent, capable of holding some four thousand persons, and a smaller tent from Boston. After some little a 2 forming the nadience thatthe. Commitee of arrangement had appointed the following gentlemen as presiding off- cers:— President.—His Excellency Wm. A. Buckingham. Vice Presidents.—Francis A. Perkins, Wim. Williams, John Breed, Joseph Williams, Comfort D. , Jede- diah Huntington, Wm. Kelly, Jeremiah Mason, James A. er Oliver Johngon, George Sherman, and Ezra Bing- ‘Tho President was then introduced, and on taking his seat was received with loud applause. In response he Soxs anp Davonrers or Norwich—In behalf of the Committee of Arrangements for celebrating this, the two hundredth anniversary of the getuement of the town, I greet you with a cordial welcome. Our citizens of to-day are not all the lineal descendants of the first of the biter a which ¢ ns we rospel ppiness; having examined for ourselves ped been that this’ was a land of beauty and of. promise, we left our homes, entrusted our fortunes with those of our kindred, and proposed to ehare with them the bors and rewards incident to life. We were received with a generous sympathy, and encouraged in every laudable enterprise; we married your ters and your sisters, your sons and your brothers, now we find every pulsation of our hearts beating in unison with those around us who strive to promote the public welfare. We find ourselves ready to lay a heavy blow upon those who with vandal hands would deface the noble work of fathers, or who with slanderous tongues would their fair name. And we call upon you to witness any dif- ference in feeling, or intent, or aim, between us and the manor born, In the name then of all our citizens, I bid you welcome. As we contemplated celebrating this day our minds went rapidly back two hundred }, to the time when this now beautiful town was a } UD cultivated by the hand of civilization or the first thirty-five settlers, and we recalled the names of Fitch and Mason and Hyde and Backus, and the ¢ part they acted during our colonic history. We recalled bames of Huntington and Leffingwell and and others of like spirit, who shunned no . no hardship, and withheld no sacrifice which their country demanded during the stormy and convulsive of the revolution. We fg of theyr descendants who are living, scattered all over the world, engaged in agriculture, in the varied ‘branches of mechanical and manufacturing industry, in extensive commerce at our centre of business and in- gathering wealth, from the polar sea and the mines of California. We roe of the bo wag medi- cal professions, and of the ministers of our common master who have extended their labors beyond our borders to the plains of India and within the Walls of China. We thought of those who here imbibed the spirit of liberty, and who under the influence of those fires burning in’ their hearts, have wisely laid foundations for free governments in our Territories; o¢ those who have wielded vigorous pens and given life and power to principles of freedom in the valleys of the ‘yoming and the Ohio; of those who have and eloquently defended and sustained those principles in our State and national councils, and of thoso who. Seats of Justice, have rightly adjgdicated questions of vital importance to the permanency of our government, We rejoice that, in obedience to that invitation, you have turned aside from your household cares and domestic duties—from your farms and your merchandige—from the paths of literature and science—from seats of and courts of justice—from all those scenes where you have battled for riches and honor and supremacy. 2 have come (nt the eg ta the valle 3 the prairie and the sea, and from spot where your wanderings bad ’ led pahecalicbor? you have returned to your native land, yer) rightfol heritage—your own beloved home. ( cheers.) And now, as our kinemen, we welcome you to these old hills and solid moss covered rocks—to our family circles and social gatherings—to our workshops and man- ufactories, where, since you left us, science and art have combined to increase the power and value of skillful labor; to our schools, which are our pride, and, we believe our honor and our glory; to our places of religious wor- ship, where we reverently acknowledge our obli 18 tO the God of our fathers, and listen to the faithful ministra- tions of His word. We welcome you as you come around the graves of your sires and your fathers’ sires—that while you remember the loved ones now gone to their rest, and shed a tear to their memory—while your hearts throb with emotions excited by the reminiscences of the past, and you call to mind the sacrifices which they offer- ed upon their altars of patriotism and religion, you may also confirm your purpose to cherish their memories wit holier affection and imitate their virtues. And now, on this beautiful day, in this inspiriting air;and on this lovely spot, we give you a cordial welcome to the hospitalities and the delightful memories of your own cherished, never forgotten, picturesque, beloved Norwich, The Rev. J. A. Pappock, on being called on to offer prayer, said that before opening the Holy Book which he held in’his hand, he begged to state the interesting fact that it was a copy of the only Bible that bore the imprint of the year 1605, more than two bundred and fifty years ago. It was a copy of that known as the ible, printed in the old on text, and was to this country in 1634 by John Latrobe. The reverend gentle- man then read various appropriate Papen Dasiet C. Gman, the orator of the day, was then sented to the audience and received with cheers. the following is a brief synopsis of his able address, which oc- cupied over heed als in delivery:— oe e apy ment of an orator, poet and preacher, ho said, bad bre his only the office of a chronicler, he should make no apology, therefore, for dveling chiefy upon facts.

The Mohegans,a branch of the Pequote, were here when our fathers came, and our earliest know- ledge respecting them is a confused account of long pro- tracted hostilities with the neighboring Narragansette. Uncas, the Mohegan, and Miantonomo, the Narragansett, were constantly at war with one another, and a legend has come down to us of their open enmity, Mobegans, with Uncas at their head, were the friends of the whites; and a brief recognition of their services was addressed by the speaker to the remnant of the tribe who were present in the tent. In ref ‘to the early settlement, of the whites, Mr. Gillman al to the fact that a spe- cial discourse would honor Mason. For the take, therefore, of giving to this guished man his due prominence (without ee ae the theme jed to another speaker, Hon. J. A. kwell), Major was introduced, and made to speak of his comrades.
